I can now test it, that amdgpu added proper support for it, and yes, it does automatically switch into game mode if I set the content type to that. It also switches to game mode with the unsupported "Graphics" content type that we currently set unconditionally, but that might just be a fallback specific to this TV. > What tool should be used to decode the EDID file? > > If it's edid-decode, then would need to check first how to install it, as > there apparently was a recent change: > https://git.linuxtv.org/edid-decode.git/commit/ > ?id=cd4bba870bee3775d2bc811d1089fb3206437176 Yes, edid-decode. In some distros there's also di-edid-decode, from libdisplay-info. > If the official GUI for MS Windows on hundreds of thousands of Intel > computers has such a setting, then why should such a setting not also be > available on KDE Plasma? You mistake "forced on users by a big company" with "good". The Intel UI is not something most users ever see, and last time I saw a friend try to make a display configuration work with it under Windows, it was pretty bad and confusing to be frank. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
